Hooking, near this village, last Sun
day, the weapon was accidentally dis
charged, and the ball lodged in the
leg of Charlie Hooking, below the
knee, infiicting a severe flesh wound
which will lay him up for few weeks.
DIR. Green was called. and dressed the
wound. This should serve as a warn
ing to the young boys around town
who are in the habit of handling fire
arms.
Alyan Brown, the little daughter of
Ben Brown. of Monticello, met with
quite serious accident last Sunday as
she was driving home the cows. She
was riding a blind horse at the time,
which ran away, stumbled, and threw
the child onto a barbed wire fence,
decorating her in a shocking manner.
The horse, too, was badly torn by the
fence. The services Of DR.. Green were
engaged.
All of our exchanges speaking of
the last annual school meeting mention
that the ladies attended and voted.
1t being their first opportunity to cast
"A ballot in this state, many embraced
the opportunity. There was probably
a greater number of votes cast this
year by them than there will be at the
next meeting as many of them think
that voting don't amount to much

the merits of the law which the citizens
committee has asked the commissioners to
enforce because it would be out of place in
existing circumstances, however appropriate
it may be hereafter. But there can be no
reasonable grounds upon which the commits
sioners can afford to longer delay the rigid en-
forcement of the law. The saloon keepers of
Indiana framed the measure themselves. and
it would be bad faith on their part to oppose
its enforcement.
1--WE do not believe they will adopt such a
course. nor is it possible that such men as
Law, Mulhausen and Goeke now that their
attention has been called in so forcible way
to the measure, will continue to permit its
violation in future.
Let them enforce the law at all hazards,
and if it is wrong it can be repealed when the
Legislature meets again. 1t is childish to
pretend that there is any excuse for treating a
statute upon such subject a dead letter.

TALK has begun about the national con-
ventions to be held next year, and two cities
have spoken for one or both of them-San
Francisco and Washington. Neither is q
suitable place. San Francisco is very much
too distant, too far removed from the center
of population, and Washington is poorly sup
piled with hotel accommodations and has no
suitable hall. There is talk of offering the
large hall in the Pension Building, but as this
belongs to the government it would be
improper to use it for Extensively partisan"
purposes. Besides, it is not adapted for a
convention, and Washington is open to the
same objection as San Francisco, though not
in the same degree--it is not central. The
conventions should be held in one of the Big

The indictments found by the grand jury
of Hamilton county, Ohio, in connection with
the Fidelity Bank failure, include one or two
directors as we'll as the officers. We believe
no director of a national bank has been
indicted before, though no doubt some ought
to have been. The same is true of the direct
ors of private banks When man accepts a
bank or railroad dictatorship he should be
held to the responsibility that goes with it.
A director is supposed to direct. If he does
not he ought to, and should be held reponsi-

BALTIMORE ministers mixing in poll
tics in way which must be very infuriating to
the Higgins element which, like the Coy gang
here, of course holds to the theory that clergy
men should not so contaminate themselves.
The Baltimore preachers not only take part
in town meetings, but carry politics into the
pulpit and speak, without fear favor,
of the condition of municipal af-
fairs Several Of the ministers made
"Purity of Elections the theme of
their sermons on Sunday last. One, Baptist
pastor, used the following vigorous language:
Gas ministers and churches we have held
aloof too much from politics. We have kept
away from the primaries and even the polls,
fearing contamination. The result is, we have
relocated the sacred trust committed to our
care into the hands of inscriptions men and
unconscionabe demagogues, machine politi
clans and bloated rum sellers. Do not be lie d
by the nose by vile horde of political
demagogues as ever lived. Act like men, not
like cattle. Let not these political butchers
lead you like sheep to the slaughter.

save our city from these reptiles that infest
it,
With the preachers talking like this there
is hope for Baltimore. Good cannot fail to
result when the best men of the community
make an open and direct fight against rascal
ity and corruption; and though the gang
should succeed this time the moral effect of
the contest will not be lost and will event.

THE gas question is up in Chicago; arti-
fetal. not natural gas. In reply to question
whether the City Council had the legal right
to bind the city to any contract for number
of years, Mr.. Leonard SWEET, the well-known
lawyer, said emphatically. no. He said the
question was raised and argued ten years ago,
the point being whether a. contract to supply
gas at fixed rate for term of years
binding. Judge Drummond held" said MIR.
SWEET, THAT the city could buy gas only
under its police powers; that the city could
not bind itself to the purchase of gas for any
given number of years, its police powers be-
ing limited to immediate necessity. and that
therefore the contract was null and void.
The city, under its police powers, may make
yearly contradiction year to year-but no
longer"

THE Philadelphia Press has information to
the effect that the recent Indianapolis election
has convinced the Democrats in this city that
"theyawil have to get rid of the tally-sheet
forgers, and a conviction at the next trial is
looked for" This is not altogether correct.
Republicans look for conviction, and re-
spectacle Democrats hore for it, but "the
Dem ocrats"-the gang which has the party
in its pocket and manipulates affairs-has no
such plan in view. 1t was scotched, but not
killed in the late election, and will need a
